[mou-net] Summering Whimbrel continues in Duluth

[Kim R Eckert]

The Whimbrel which has been present at the Park Point Recreation Area since at 
least late June was seen again today, July 15. It was in long, unmown grass in 
the NW part of the recreation area, on the N side of the road, on the SW edge 
of the boat ramp parking area. But to clarify earlier reports, I’m told it 
spends much of the time near the far W end of the main recreation area parking 
lot, where it forages in the mown areas near the planted crabapple trees. This 
is just across the road from where we saw it today, and that’s where I’d 
suggest you start looking. As others have noted, it appears healthy, seems to 
fly normally, and it calls loudly in flight, but it can be difficult to find 
since most of the park is not being mown this year, and long 
"taller-than-a-Whimbrel" grass covers much of the park. 

During the brief look I had today, it appears to be of the expected hudsonicus 
subspecies with relatively uniform brownish plumage. Whimbrels breed in the 
tundra of Alaska and northern Canada, and late-lingering spring migrants are 
sometimes seen here in early June. There have also been a few late July 
sightings over the years of presumed post-breeding visitants, and even fewer 
one-day sightings of strays between mid-June and mid-July. But this continuing 
individual seems to represent the first record of a Whimbrel summering in 
Minnesota.

Re: [mou-net] Duck Stamps

I have found that if a post office does not carry Federal Duck Stamps, or
is out of them, they can order them from their central supplier and will
even set one aside for you (at their discretion).
